The NYC Metro MSA is as follows from Wiki: The New York metropolitan area, also referred to as the Tri-State Area, includes New York City as the most populous city in the United States, Long Island, and the Mid- and Lower Hudson Valley in the state of New York; moreover the five largest cities in New Jersey: Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Elizabeth, and Edison, and their vicinities; six of the seven largest cities in Connecticut: Bridgeport, New Haven, Stamford, Waterbury, Norwalk, and Danbury, and their vicinities; and five counties in northeastern Pennsylvania.That's crazy to include all those areas and say that NYC in itself is indicitive of what is happening there.

I like Okaloosa Island better because there is a cap on building height (6 stories) and all the complexes are directly on the beach.

I'm more of a correspondent lender so I work with ( but not for) the big banks here on the island but offer a bit more personal service ( as its very easy for clients of the big banks to be treated more like numbers than actual clients). 

Any Investors looking for a Real Estate Agent in the Rhode Island area, feel free to give me a call.I am a very active flipper and an Agent for Keller Williams, and I understand what your needs are as an INVESTOR!!

Again, just depends on the details.Moving from Whidbey Island north of Seattle to Pensacola FL. 

So Connecticut might be out and a lot of Long Island too. 

At that time, the land was worthless, now it is a bit more valuable.There is land next to it that I also wish to purchase, it is also owned by the contracting company.I know how to push this land to auction but I feel I would get a better price/easier time buying from the owners instead.I know where to find the old president of the company.Is it a good idea/possible to try to purchase the land from him or should I just have it pushed to auction where I know others will bid against me?

Mala, 3k was on 2 family 500k house on staten island.

I'm looking to see if there is an experienced RE investor in Long Island that wouldn't mind sharing some of their expertise.

Like, I'm a realtor on Long Island, and I joined my local YPN (young professional network).
